Computer "relearn" ?
I have read here that any time you upgrade the intake the computer will "relearn" how much more air is being taken in and adjust. How long does this process take? Is it gradual or can the relearn take place the first time you drive after the install?

I did it when I installed my vararam.
It's simple.
1 Disconnect Battery for 1/2 hour.
2 Reconnect Battery
3 Turn car on and let it idle for 3-5 minutes (or untill warmed up)
4 Slowly give it RPM's little at a time up to aound 2500-3000 ish.
5 Last but not least, of course you've got to nail it a couple times after the process is complete.........you know just to hear it and make sure it sounds okay at WOT.
This is exactly what I did and have had no known problems with the aftermarket intake.

JoshVette,
I followed your instructions today, it will be fun to see if I can feel any SOTP difference since the last time I drove the Corvette. Of course, that was almost two months ago, so I probably won't! The only changes I have made since the last drive was a K&N, a Z06 airbox, and a smooth coupler - probably not going to make a big difference.
Weather forecast for tomorrow is high 40's and partly sunny.
